Extensibility Reference

This section of our documentation goes into detail on the various features of VS Code extensibility. It's worth reviewing the introduction on the extensions as well as going through the 'Hello World' example before digging in too deeply here.

The easiest way to see VS Code extensions in action is via the Extension Marketplace. Once you have built your first extension, it can be published for others to install.

Language Extension Guidelines

If you are implementing programming language support, we have a Language Extension Guidelines topic which shows the various language features available in VS Code (for example, code suggestions and actions, formatting, renaming) and provides guidance on how to implement them.
